Suggest Remedy For Constipation And Small Hemorrhoids In Children

For more than a year my 3 year old son suffers from constipation, he is been bleeding, yesterday the pediatrician say is seems he has hemorrhoids, there are small and until they get bigger he can have surgery, he didn’t prescribe anything. He is overweight; his also is a picky eater. My other concern is that he doesn’t eat his 3 meals a day, sometimes he doesn’t eat for two days, but he drinks lot liquids. The pediatrician did blood test and all were negative, his overweight could be genetic. I’m really worry, I don’t know how I can help my son his constipation is getting worse he bleeds more everytime he go and when I stop the Pedia-Lax Liquid Stool Softener with 8oz of milk

Hi.... treatment of constipation is the permanent solution for your son's haemorrhoid problem.

I think your kid is having habitual constipation. I have certain questions and suggestions for you.

Questions:
1. Did your kid pass motion or meconium on day one of life?
2. Since how long is the kid constipated?
3. Does the kid have any bleeding along with hard stools?
4. How much milk does the kid consume per day?
5. Does the kid eat fruits and vegetables (fibre diet) appropriately?

You can get back with answers at the following link -

Suggestions:
1. Natural methods are the best to relieve constipation.
2. Constipation is a risk factor for UTI
3. Maximum milk consumption per day should not exceed 300-400ml
4. Minimum 3-4 cups of fruits and vegetables to be consumed per day
5. Toilet training - that is - sitting in Indian type of lavatory daily at the same time will help a lot.
